Here ya go. Could be worse. DeVore up instead of Terrero or a reliever...? And Keoni DeRenne moved from Lancaster straight to Tucson for some reason - he's a SS - fairly fast, he had an early hot streak but now around .250 - good BB/SO. He'll be a utility infielder they said.
Sexson MRI reveals subluxation in left shoulder
Diamondbacks Press Release
April 29, 2004
PHOENIX - The Arizona Diamondbacks announced that the magnetic resonance imaging revealed that first baseman Richie Sexson incurred a subluxation of his left shoulder as well as a bruised humeral head.
The injury occurred on Wednesday night when he attempted to check his swing in an eighth inning at bat against LaTroy Hawkins.
The Diamondbacks will place Sexson on the 15-day disabled list, effective today, and in a corresponding move have purchased the contract of outfielder Doug DeVore from their Tucson affiliate (AAA).
"Richie made it very obvious to all of us that he wants to return to the field as soon as possible" said Joe Garagiola Jr., Senior Vice President and General Manager.
"This is an unusual injury in that the bruise is in the back of the humerus, thus it may be an injury that we can treat and hopefully get him back on the field in a timely manner," said Dr. Michael Lee, Head Team Physician. "As is the case with the majority of our injuries, I will not place a timetable on Richie's return. He will begin rehabilitating the injury immediately with our training staff, who will closely monitor his progress, and we will have a much better idea of a possible return date once the initial pain from the injury decreases."
Sexson had the following statement on the injury:
"I'm obviously disappointed, but I'm also equally determined to do whatever it takes to get back in the lineup as soon as possible. I have grown accustomed over the years to seeing my name in the lineup everyday and being sidelined isn't something I'm used to. I will not let this deter me from returning and having a productive season
